Housing inventory rebounds at record rate in largest metros, but South Florida lags behind, Realtor.com reports

by Patrick Regan

The number of homes available to buyers climbed 18.7% in June, the sharpest year-over-year increase in the history of the Realtor.com Monthly Housing Trends Report.

While active listings increased, so did prices. The median home price in the report increased 16.9% to $450,000, compared to June 2021.

In the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach region, the median listing price increased 40.1% year over year to $630,000, while active listings declined 15.9%, bucking the national trend.

Compared to June 2021, active inventory increased in 40 of the 50 largest U.S. metros, led by Austin, Texas (+144.5%), Phoenix (+113.2%) and Raleigh, N.C. (+111.7%).
